Aging and the Mature Dog

We have added a new page on the history of the Labrador Retriever. Did you know that the Labrador Retriever is not actually from Labrador? Did you know they were originally used by fisherman to retrieve fish? All of that, and more is located on the “History” page. Here is an excerpt:

The Labrador Retriever breed was developed in the mid-1800’s in England by dog breeders trying to develop the ideal gun dog. The English Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1903 and the first Labrador Retriever was registered with the AKC in the United States in 1917. They have now become the most popular dog breed in the United States.

The term “Labrador” is actually a bit of a misnomer. The dogs originated from the St. John’s area of Newfoundland and were first referred to (incorrectly) as Labrador dogs by geographically misinformed English people.

AKC Breeder: The American Kennel Club’s Newsletter for Breeders
Fall 2010
From the AKC Meet the Breeds, hosted by The American Kennel Club and Cat Fanciers’ Association, will return to the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, October 16 and 17. Last year’s 36,000 attendees enjoyed 200 individually decorated official breed booths that allowed pet lovers to interact with dogs, cats, puppies and kittens, and learn about their history and unique attributes directly from the experts. In addition, there will again be numerous vendor booths and ongoing demonstrations. Don’t miss the “World’s Largest Showcase of Dogs and Cats,” presented by Pet Partners.
The AKC has announced its 2010 Breeder of the Year group recipients: Gregory Siner, Sporting Group (Pooles Ide Irish Water Spaniels); Debbie Butt, Hound Group (Sporting Field Whippets); Michelle Santana, Working Group (Foxfire Doberman Pinschers); Margery Good, Terrier Group (Goodspice Sealyham Terriers); Carol Harris, Toy Group (Bo-Bett Italian Greyhounds); Joanne Reed, Non-Sporting Group (Windrift Keeshonden); and Leslie Frank, Herding Group (Propwash Australian Shepherds). Congratulations to these well-deserving honorees!
In this issue of AKC Breeder, our feature article is “Matching Your Puppies With the Best Prospective Homes.” PartTwo addresses ways of best ensuring a happy future for both puppies and new owners. From “Inside the AKC” we have information on AKC’s new Registration Development department and how they are working to find new ways to discover, develop, and drive AKC registrations. Also from AKC, there is an article reprinted from the Gazette on past AKC Veterinary Scholarship winners.
The AKC 2008 Breeder of the Year, Joan Savage, walks us through a litter’s crucial first eight weeks in “Advice from the Breeder.” And lastly, from Royal Canin we have “Supporting the Immune System in the Weanling Puppy.”
Your comments are always appreciated.
